The NBA<\/a> recognizes 74 championship teams in its history. A total of 71 have come since the NBA's first season in 1949\u201350, the other three from the Basketball Association of America from 1946\u201349. Of those 74 titles, an astonishing 46% belong to just two teams. The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have won 17 championships apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston's last championship<\/a> came in 2008, while the Lakers are the defending champions<\/a> after winning the bubble title in 2020. With their most recent championships, the Celtics and LA entered a small group of teams to win a title the year after missing the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston rose to the top of the championship list with the longest run of consecutive titles in North American pro sports history. At the same time, the Lakers spent a long time playing catch-up after holding a very early lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first NBA dynasty was not the LA Lakers; it was the Minneapolis Lakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
